90% of Xinjiang Hetian jade is counterfeit goods

Jade culture is one of the most ancient cultures that can represent Eastern civilization. Xinjiang Hetian jade is even more respected as the "Chinese national stone." Jade's popularity will attract Hetian Yu to the supreme throne. At the same time, it also attracts a lot of fake goods and shoddy goods. Therefore, there are many people who do not hesitate to go to Xinjiang and go to Hetian jade's place of origin. But will this guarantee the quality of the purchased Hetian jade? Zhou Daoxiang, director of the Jiangnan Gongyuan History Exhibition Hall in Nanjing, said that even in Xinjiang, 90% of Hetian jade is counterfeit.

A Russian ornament arrived at a debt of RMB 100,000. In the stone-fighting event held on Sunday, a Tibetan friend specially held a piece of Maitreya “Hetian jade” about 20 centimeters high. According to his own introduction, this statue of Maitreya Buddha was used as a foreclosed object by him several years ago. "At that time, this statue of Buddha had a total of 100,000 yuan."

Zhou Daoxiang, a site expert, said after careful observation: “This is a Russian jade, not a Hetian jade. The current value is also around 10 million.”

Like the Tibetan friends, there are many Tibetan friends who bring “Hetian jade” to counterfeit goods, not Russian materials or Qinghai materials. Mr. Hong Gang, who has considerable experience in the collection and management of jade, said: “If you don’t understand jade and do not have the ability to discern, you must be careful to buy it. Do not blindly listen to the description of the business, and do not casually believe in TV shopping. What kind of collector's, collector's edition jade advertising!"

90% is actually a counterfeit product. In recent years, the prosperity of the jewellery and jade market has further increased the value of Hetian jade, which has risen more than 10,000 times over the past decade. The prosperous market is like a double-edged sword. Hotan's sales are becoming popular, and with the declining resources of the top-quality seeds, counterfeit goods with a variety of tricks also flow into the market. Zhou Daoxiang shared his experience in researching Hetian Yu over the years at the Battlestone site. He stated that in order to collect a real Hetian jade, he would not hesitate to embark on a number of trips to Xinjiang to find jade, but even so, it is difficult to receive a piece of jade.

Zhou Daoxiang said: "In recent years, because of many reasons, even in Xinjiang, 90% of 'Hetian jade' is actually counterfeit goods or simply fakes." Therefore, he advises the majority of Hetian Yu Tibetan friends to avoid collecting When jade pays expensive “tuition fees”, he must maintain a modest attitude and devote himself to researching and learning related knowledge of Tian Tianyu. Some Tibetan friends may have high self-esteem or in some respects have high attainments, they will be too confident in their ability to identify jade, unscrupulous businesses will use this mentality to blindfold Tibetan friends, causing many Tibetan friends to be deceived . If necessary, they can also consult with experts. "Compared to buying high school fees for fake goods, low-cost consulting fees are definitely worth a lot," said Zhou Daoxiang.
